Thermoregulation : It is possible, but would expect to see other associated objectively verifiable neurological deficits along with it. From what doctors know, the hypothalamus is responsible for core body temperature regulation. Since the hypothalamus is tinny and controls many other things in our bodies, a trauma causing heat intolerance would most likely cause other named problems of the hpa.
